in your ~/.mh_profile, include a 
   repl: -nocc me -nocc to 
to exclude you and dest from being in the Cc:, while still including original
Cc: list.
You can also play with the ~/Mail/replcomps file, which is the pattern along
with are composed your replies.

But these are MH questions. Dig in the mh docs for more, but be prepared for
some hairy times :-), MH extension system is crippled and extremely tortuous.

No. Recompile XMH with different newmail.bit and nomail.bit bitmaps.

try not to specify any xmh*geometry resource, always specific ones, such
as:
	xmh.geometry
	xmh*comp*geometry
so as not to make geometry of dialogs match any of your defined geometry,
and it should work OK.
